Overview

How can we design intelligent systems that shape the future of technology? The Master’s in Computing Science at Radboud University invites you to explore the cutting edge of software, data, and artificial intelligence. With specialisations ranging from cybersecurity to mathematical foundations, the programme combines deep theoretical understanding with real-world application. You’ll work on innovative research and projects that tackle complex digital challenges, preparing you to drive progress in science, industry, and society.

Thinking of getting a teaching qualification?

Are you interested in obtaining your first-degree teaching qualification in computing science, while also broadening and deepening your subject knowledge? The (Dutch-only) Two-year Educational Master's in Computing Science combines computing science subjects, didactics and internships, which trains you to become a teacher for secondary or higher education.

Pre-Master's

Students who'd like to study MSc Computing Science but who lack a (small) part of the admissions criteria might be eligible for a (customised) pre-Master’s in English. This pre-Master's programme will bridge the gap between your prior education and our Master's in Computing Science, and prepares you for a specialisation in Software Science, Data Science or Cyber Security.
